Southwest is really nice !! 👍👍✈💜🥁🐉🎤🎶💕💞
I am Japanese & found your booking tech very surprising/ interesting !! It's cheaper to fly there than to N.Y.from a city in U.S.seems so cray cray !! And tickets on the Japanese site for JAL is cheaper is very surprising !! As Japanese got more money in general !! Lol I thought it'd be much cheaper here to buy air tickets for JAL,they're very expensive airlines !! Especially their 1st class !!! Maybe things have changed a lot !!? ✈💜🥁🐉🎤🎶💞
Skyscanner will search combos-IE fly cheap on regional airline to major airport, then switch airlines to major carrier. Will also show one way on one carrier and back on another.
BEWARE! This company sold me ticket protection for a flight that couldn’t be changed. I lost over $1100 due to their deceitful business practices. Their customer service is non existent. I would never recommend this fraudulent company to anyone.
If you actually want to go on your trip DO NOT USE FLYVAGARY!
Hey Chris I just got through booking my flight from SFO-LHR-ORY-PRG-TLV-SFO. As I am going on a British Isles Cruise Carnival booked me on Virgin Atlantic for $580. From London I picked up a Vuelling flight from LGW-ORY for $112 with luggage.
From Orly I found a Vuelling flight for $68 0.on Vielling oer passenger with luggage. On all my Vuelling flights they gave me Priority due to my disability.
From Prague to Tel Aviv I booked LOT for $200 and from Tel Aviv to SFO $870 via Frankfurt with the Condor flight in Premium
Where can I find cheap flights from Atlanta Georgia to Santo Domingo Dominican Republic
So no info on how to find deals. Just Blah Blah Blah !!
Just get first class or business class.
Plus if they don’t have a private lounge I don’t go.
This was six months ago
Virus has been over for awhile now
Just use your concierge they help you American Express cards give you one.
How to fly cheap? Lol!!! America needs highspeed Bullet trains. Sick of cancellations and being stranded at airports and the highcost of fuel. I can't believe that americans who are so damn gong ho on technology dosent have highspeed Bullet trains! What in the hell are you waiting for?
$30 extra on economy seat from basic economy? Pls show me. I never found that. I think you meant $300 extra.
LAX is usually the cheapest!!!!
Hi! I'm planning a trip to Thailand on January 23 any suggestions on how to find a cheap ticket? Thanks in advance.
I started making good returns for my self and my family after learning the secret behind the stock markets. The stock markets has made me consistent 6 fig payout now. Learning the secret behind the stock markets is the only way to become a millionaire with any invested capital. Stock trading is very lucrative and simple once you are willing to know the secret behind it.
The airlines are horrible ripping off the traveler. The price of a ticket can go 3 hundred percent on the internet from one hour to the next
The airlines say is because of the demand increase. I say is a bunch of BS. Hotels do not do that kind of things when you make a reservation.
The problem with the airlines is when.they are in trouble , they ask the government for money, the taxpayers money. Later they will ripped off the taxpayers with their abuse with the prices.
The politicians need to do something about this.
They ripped off the travelers all year around. In the Spring because of the Eastern, Summer because of the vacation, Fall because of the Thanks giving week, winter because of the holidays.
As a private businesses they can charge what ever they want. By the same token don't ask the government for our tax money when things are not good.
I CANT BELIEVE THIS 🤬 ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ SCAMMER HAS over 💯 likes on his comment wtf are people that 🛌 💤, WAKE UP PEOPLE DO FOR SELF KNOWLEDGE IS POWER PICK UP A BOOK ON THE MATERIAL RESEARCH RESEARCH 🧐 #FREEDOM
I’m looking for a cheap flight to France next year June
Hi Chris, after having bad experience twice with ChepOair, I was looking to buy through Kayak which you seem to like ,but then I red their reviews and they sound very discouraging as well, so now I'm thinking to book directly with airlines from Lexington KY to Kenya again, what are your or anybody 's thoughts here ?
Interesting…. I've always found that tues wed and sat were the cheapest tickets.
Also with renting cars, monday is the worst day to try and get one because of all the business people coming in. The Hertz parking lot is literally empty on monday morning. Come back on the weekend and the lot is full of hundreds of cars. I am a Hertz Presidential member and spend a healthy five figures per year on rentals for my business.
thaks so much , very useful
Great tips! Cant wait to be back in the air soon 🙂
We got round trip tickets on Singapore Air from SFO to Phuket r/t for $980 in Feb 2023 for a month.
I am looking forward to spending time at Singapore Airport!
The hopper app is wonderful for watching flights and predicting price.
Thanks for the tips Chris. I just have a question, Do you know of the skylux website? is it a good site to buy ticket and reliable? Thanks again.
Hey in January this year I booked a pakage trip to los angeles and went in june, I'm now trying to book the same pakage for June 2023 but it's comming up as £1000 more expensive. Would u recommend me waiting until January to book again?
I wanna go to London next December 2023. When should I start looking for flights? How many months before?
should you encourage cheap flight despite the well documented role that air travel plays in exacerbating the climate crisis?
Im from india show me booking processss im waiting bro
Very good content. Very helpful. Thanks!
How can I take you seriously, sir : "NYC is cheap because it is a business destination and not a cultural destination… Hawaii is cheap? " When?? Like, NEVER!! Armchair traveller perhaps?
19:32 what?
THE FASTET WAY TO BE STOLEN. WARNING: DO NOT BOOK YOUR TICKETS WITH cheapoair IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE STOLEN AS IT HAPPENED TO US, THEY WILL DO WHATEVER THEY CAN TO STEAL YOUR MONEY… IN OUR CASE WITH THE EXCUSE OF A MISSPELLING, OBLIGED US TO CANCEL TWO TICKETS TO EUROPE AND AS A RESULT THEY STOLE FROM US 1700 DOLLARS….BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL.
The rules and regulations outlined in this video are comprehensive and accurate. As an expert in all things travel, I would urge travellers to be diligent in their research and accordingly budget for flights in order to guarantee getting the best price.
